Hello Peter,


I have played along with both GNADE and APQ in IMHO APQ is a lot
easier to use and seems to be a more mature project.


For the activity, APQ hasn't been maintained for a while but something
tells me it's gonna be highly active in the next years, starting this
week (sorry but I won't say anything else for the moment... just
believe me :D).



Regards.
